• WM024-072 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a very steep hillock with rock outcrop, in pasture with good views to E, S and W. Ringfort (WM024-073----) lies c. 175m to ESE. Monument described in 1971 and 1977 as a high steep-sided oval-shaped platform (overall dims. 27m NW-SE; 18m NE-SW) enclosed by a bank, an intervening fosse and an outer bank. The inner bank of earth and stone is visible from W-N and has the remains of internal stone facing. It has been reduced to a scarp from N-E-S-W, where some outcrop is visible. A shallow intervening fosse is visible from SW-W-NNW. The outer bank is visible only at W, where it is very denuded. The original entrance is not recognisable. The top of the platform (diam. 13m) is very uneven and a slight flat-topped mound is located in the NW quadrant and appears to be a natural feature. A portion of the perimeter has been dug away at SW. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien. Date of upload: 13 August 2019

The earth and stone bank is substantial although it is reduced to a scarp at E and is slightly defaced in several other places. A modern stone wall running NNW-SSE is built against the base of the bank at W. There are very faint traces of an outer fosse. See attached plan and profile of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI.
